Braised Pork Belly
Braised pork belly is a slow-cooked dish featuring the fatty cut from a pig's underside, transformed through prolonged simmering in seasoned liquid. The process renders the fat into a silky texture while converting collagen into gelatin, creating its signature melt-in-the-mouth consistency. Typically prepared with soy sauce, aromatics, and spices, this protein-rich dish is calorie-dense due to its high saturated fat content and is prominent in both Asian and European comfort food traditions.
